Richmond Local Area Command crime manager Detective-Inspector Steven Clarke said no arrests had been made but inquiries were continuing.

Coraki resident and Rural Transaction Centre volunteer Joan Farrow said vandalism was an ongoing issue for the town.

"It is a problem," she said. "There's not much for the people to do, and a lot of the young people don't have jobs."

Ms Farrow said infrastructure in Coraki had improved but she thought boredom and the lack of transport were an issue.

"Every long weekend something seems to happen," she said.

Coraki newsagent Bryan Denning disagreed however.

Despite having his 300 kilogram safe stolen last Easter containing more than $5000 in cash and a few thousand dollars worth of scratchies, and a laptop computer taken in November 2004, Mr Denning said vandalism was not rife in Coraki.

"I don't think it's any different from any other town. Every town has its troubles," he said.

"They can't blame boredom or nothing to do. I get bored at home sometimes at the weekend, but I don't go out and trash things."
